The Low range equates to the performance you would come to expect from a stock vintage Marshall amplifier in terms of tone and available gain. The High range moves the sound into the realms of high gain heaven, facilitating those classic British hard rock tones of the seventies. Add to this, the ability to dynamically interface with your instrument’s Volume and Tone controls and the experience translates into a truly expressive and organic feel in performance. Pre-amp Two ‘frequency selective’ P

However, my dedicated team of designers are constantly looking for methods to make our amplifiers sound even better. As they are all guitar players themselves this process has become a passion within the design department. As the name Advanced Valvestate Technology (AVT) suggests, your new amplifier benefits from their research and utilises their latest circuit innovations, all of which are totally unique to Marshall. By emulating the feel and response of an all-valve amplifier even more closely

These can then be recalled when using the unit in Preset mode. When channel settings have been stored the current channel light (3 or 5) will stop flashing indicating the preset has been saved. Reverb & FX The amplifier provides three simultaneous effects, Reverb, Delay and one of three Modulation effects (Chorus, Phaser, orFlanger). Reverb The Reverb control sets the amount of signal sent to the reverb section - allowing the reverb to spill between channels as different presets are recalle

The LED flashes at selected delay time. 14. Delay Control Controls the amount of signal sent to the delay effect. 15. Ext FX Switch Switches the external FX Loop on and off. 16. MasterControl Controls the master volume of the amplifier. 17. Damping (Manual) Switch Switches the power amp damping between classic amp feeling (LED off) and modern response (LED on). Holding down the Damping switch for longer than 2 seconds switches the amp between manual and preset mode (page 6). When using

Turning this up past half way will result in your guitar crunching up, ideal for vintage blues or classic rock. 3. Gain 2 This takes off where Gain 1 finishes. Having both Gains off will result in no sound. Turning Gain 2 will result in a distorted tone straight away. Turning up this control even further will result in high gain sounds, ideal for contemporary styles. Cranking up both Gain 1 and Gain 2 will result in monster distortion. 4. Treble The Treble control will add or take away the highe

8. EQ TREBLE control This control affects the treble or top end of your sound. Increasing the amount of treble will give a glassy edge to your clean sounds and increase the definition on low gain overdrive or the amount of aggressive ‘fizz’ and ‘cut’ on high gain tones. 9. Reverb LEVEL control Increasing the Reverb Level control will mix more of the naturally voiced spring reverb signal into your sound – as you’ll find, you can go from subtle to surf at the mere twist of this control! 10. FDD (F

These can then be recalled when using the unit in Preset mode. When channel settings have been stored the current channel light (3 or 5) will stop flashing indicating the preset has been saved. Reverb & FX The amplifier provides two simultaneous effects, Reverb and one of four FXs (Chorus, Phaser, Flanger or Delay) Reverb The Reverb control (8) sets the amount of signal sent to the reverb section - allowing the reverb to spill between channels as different presets are recalled. When the Re

Forty years ago amps like these only existed in our wildest dreams clean to full-out thrash, and the general quality of tone that emanates from these little boxes is excellent, with none of the boxiness you’d expect from a small loudspeaker. Above the halfway mark, the clean volume control starts to add a nice bluesy distortion, one that sounded particularly good with a Strat. The overdrive channel goes much further: from classic rock at lower gain settings to massive sustain, which is perfect
